Now that I've gotten a hang of my new posca markers, I decided to experiment a little with this illustration.
After laying down a blue base for her skin, I took my handy-dandy cheap-o makeup sponges (I normally use them to do gradients or other designs for nail art) to get the galaxy look.
I painted on some of the purple marker onto the sponge and oh so carefully, dabbed it on. Then I went back and forth between applying spots of the blue and spots of the purple.
But I wasn't done; I felt like the markers shades I had were a little too limiting. So I broke out my dark blue ink, and used the sponge to splotch on some darker spots.
I also blended in the ink of my go to drawing pen to shade in the darkest parts on her body.
Lastly, I used a white pen to draw on the stars and constellations.
In case you guys are curious, here are all of the ingredients I used to make this drawing:
• Blue & Purple markers from the Posca Paint markers, natural set
• Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay India Ink
• Pilot Pocket Brush Pen
• Sakura Gelly Roll pen
